amice

Rectangular piece of linen cloth worn by the priest in the celebration of the Christian Mass.

It is placed on the head and then thrown back and tied round the neck under the alb. Members of religious orders whose habit includes a hood, put the amice over the hood and then throw back both together to fall outside the chasuble.

Who but would cast his pomp away, To take my staff and amice grey, And to the world's tumultuous stage, Prefer the peaceful Hermitage?
Ivanhoe by Scott, Walter View in context
Thus passed the night so foul, till Morning fair Came forth with pilgrim steps, in amice grey, Who with her radiant finger stilled the roar Of thunder, chased the clouds, and laid the winds, And griesly spectres, which the Fiend had raised To tempt the Son of God with terrors dire.
Paradise Regained by Milton, John View in context
